The Hillary Clinton Mini-Series

From this morning's New York Times...



The script for the proposed mini-series on the life of the possible presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton hasn’t even been written but we may already have a plot twist. While NBC has come under heavy fire, especially from Republican critics, for agreeing to broadcast the series, the project may wind up being produced by another company: Fox Television Studios, the sister company of the conservative favorite, Fox News.

Interesting, eh? I've said since I first heard about this that it is just as likely to be a hit piece (emphasizing scandal) to get ratings as it is to be a puff piece. Either way, it's not fair. They should abandon the entire concept. If no script has been written yet, what harm is there in that?
